This 4 mile trail flows very well, forwards or backwards. I ride here multiple times per week for training. Not too technical, or physically demanding; it still contains enough of the basic components for a really good ride if you are pushing yourself. Technical aspects you will encounter are mostly roots with a few log crossings, bridges, and tight switchbacks. Bailouts are available for the more technical obstacles.

Watch for glass in the upper meadow area of the trail. This area used to be a landfill and a few items tend to work their way to the surface.

Customer Service

T.H.O.R. has built new entrance and exit trails. The trailhead sign is at the east end of the parking lot. trail entrance is to the right and up the hill about 15 yards. Stay on the well worn path and follow the signs that are available. If a trail looks somewhat unused, it's probably a shortcut. The first intermediate portion of the trail is a detour into a ravine, hold left (uphill) as you exit, otherwise you will miss about a mile of the trail.

This trail is awesome very technical and rolling. Has alot of rooty climbs with switchbacks at the top. Very fast ups and downs with a few large gullies. One easy rock garden you can pretty much jump haha. 2 decent sized drop-offs and a few bridges.

A-Hol Cross Country Rider [Jul 29, 2010]

Excellent trail w/lots to offer new and seasoned riders. Singletrack w/very little climbing. Quick swithch backs. Loved this trail! If you ride it fast, it take some real good bike handling skills to keep you wheels down. If you ride it slow, it's not all that difficult.

Customer Service

Follow the THOR signs.

This trail is fun, a little bit of everything. Look out for many exposed tree roots. Also in the upper part of the trail, which used to be a landfill, there is metal sticking out. Must be careful not to slash your leg. Also a few parts could send you going over a cliff if you have too much speed and lose control. Great scenic path, mostly in trees which can shield the hot winter sun and strong winds.

Great for training, practice by doing laps and recording times. This trail has al little of everything and flows well.

Customer Service

When you enter the trail go right at the first intersection in the woods. After that you might need some help. To many options to describe but once you know the route it is a blast.

This trail is a blast!!! There are some great small downhills, great log crossings, fast bridge crossings (with opportunity for air). Lots of wildlife, a dear just about took my front wheel with it. Not to tough of a trail and rides easy. I would rate the climbing at about a 2 out of 5. Definetly worth riding if you have never been here.

Customer Service

Many routes, I rode it clockwise but there are many diffent paths that have you tracking over areas you have already been and so on. Just GO

Very enjoyable for the beginner to intermediate rider. Area is small, yet packed with plenty of good trails. Plenty of man-made jumps and bridges place a nice twist into your ride. No maps available, and none needed. No need to worry about getting lost.

Customer Service

All routes are real good

sdr Weekend Warrior [Jul 17, 2004]

It's a ride in the park, not a "Warrior's" ride. A fun afterwork stress buster or quick, convenient weekend ride. Good place to take beginners or family so they can learn and enjoy the ride. If you're looking for intensity, Omaha has other rides to offer. Keep this trail the way it is. Don't build more, don't reduce what is there.

Customer Service

It is a bit of a mouse maze. There are arrows to help. Follow them, or better yet, follow a friend who has done it before.

I am new to the area and was turned on to this trail by a local bike shop. I'm from Oregon and am used to a wider variety of trails and with a lot more climbing and decending but have found this trail very enjoyable. I agree with the last post in that if you can't ride something don't remove it. I ride this trail almost daily with my 9 year old stepdaughter and she can ride over 90 percent of the obstacles that we have come across so from what I've seen it is definately suited for beginners. I can honestly say that I never expected to find anything remotely like this in Nebraska and was pleasantly surprised by this trail. We enjoy this trail very much and she is thrilled at the fact that we see deer every trip. When she asks if we can cut through to a different trail I simply explain to her that you shouldn't do it or move anything that is there. Coming from a state where emvironmental protesters are paid 300.00 to 400.00 a week I have seen what can get a trail closed. Be thankful for what you have because there are people that don't think that we should be riding on trails at all.

i am writing this due to the fact that every time i ride this trail it becomes more of a bore than the last time. this is pointed at mangilla, and whoever else keeps taking down and destroying the only obstacles that make this trail fun. the log rides were already on the ground and not in anybody's way. if you CAN'T ride them than DON'T, but don't take away someone else's fun becaue they have more nuts and skills than you. and for "north shore" give me a freakin break. some people need to look out their windsheids instead of the rear view mirror to see where the sport is going instead of where it's been, aggressive trail riding makes up most of our sport nowadays. only a few people still care about their timed laps and target heart rate, i don't know about everyone else but me and the ALL the people i ride with want to have fun and sharpen our bike handling skills for when we go to an actual mtn bike trail.if i wanted to go pedal i would buy a road bike. this trail used to rock for omaha standards and was getting funner all the time until this summer, i agree that you can't just build stuff anywhere and everywhere but there has to be a funner and better way.
